Right, but with ice, the mechanics are pretty simple: heat gets in and warms stuff up, and its behavior is predictable. OTOH, reviews are "free data", but you don't know whether it's a real review or a fake review. If you decide incorrectly (eg. believing the fake reviews over the real ones), you would end up in a worse position than you started out with.
Reviews are free data, and you have to know how to navigate them.
I don't see the difference.
